PARK CITY, UtahΒ βΒ Weβre back at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, now unspooling its final edition in a distinctly unsnowy Park City before it relocates to Boulder, Colo. in 2027. What hasnβt changed? Our capacity to get excited for some of the yearβs strongest independent cinema: documentaries, dramas, midnight films, even a Charli XCX sighting or two.
How to make the best use of the festival? Weβve got daily recommendations for what to watch, critical diaries, videos and a steady stream of screening notes, interviews and events. Also, weβll be updating this gallery through Monday with all the best portraits from the L.A. Times Studio @ Sundance Film Festival presented by Chase Sapphire Reserve. Plus, check out all of our video interviews and live panels on our Sundance home page. Happy festing!
